Stadia Pro continues to be a great deal for anyone who subscribes, and February 2022 will be no different. In fact, it may be one of the best months yet, since gamers are getting a total of seven freaking games for their ten bucks this month!
Most notable among them are Life is Strange and Life is Strange: Before the Storm, but other titles are worth checking out as well. For example, Cosmic Star Heroine is a fantastic JRPG-style game that anyone nostalgic for the era will appreciate. It’s also created by the same folks who made Cthulhu Saves the World – a game that’s already on the platform.
Other games include Phogs, One Hand Clapping, Nanotale, and Merek’s Market – all available in just a few days on February 1, 2022. Let’s take a look below at what you’re getting this month, and be sure to tell us in the comments which game you’re most excited about. I definitely love the Life is Strange series for its fantastic cinematic storytelling and impactful decision-making mechanics. Happy gaming!
